St. Agatha Parish exists primarily to serve the spiritual needs of those of the Polish language and ethnicity living in the St. Louis area.  We live our faith in union with the Supreme Pontiff and the Archbishop of St. Louis.  While living in American society, we celebrate our heritage of rich cultural traditions.  Through the intercession of Our Lady of Częstochowa, the Queen of Poland, and St. Agatha, the patron of our Parish, we seek to fulfill our calling in Jesus Christ by living out our Catholic faith in love, justice and peace.

Twenty-five years after Pope John Paul II’s visit to St. Louis, many Catholics, people of good will and the Polish Community reflect on his life, teaching and legacy. FEAST OF ST. AGATHA IS CELEBRATED ON FEB. 4 & 5

Dear Parishioners & Friends of Saint Agatha’s Church, Christmas celebrates the most monumental event in the history of the world, the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior. On behalf of our community and myself, I would like to wish that His peace fill the hearts and homes of you and your loved ones, this Christmas and in the coming New Year 2025! With that wish, I add my thanks for the many things you do to keep the faith alive and well, and care for the Church and parish community. In your plans to celebrate Jesus’ birth, remember to include your families, friends and members of our parish, especially those who are missing loved ones, or those who are suffering due to illness and their caregivers. Keep them in your heart, in a special way. When you enrich their Christmas, you enrich your own beyond measure. Let us ignite the wonder of the Christmas spirit to others we meet! The smallest action or word, when combined with God's grace, can become a source of comfort and joy for another. At the same time, we must acknowledge the presence of our loved ones, our praise of God on this happy occasion, and attendance at Church, uniting ourselves with believers in our midst. May Jesus fill your life, your thoughts, your heart, and your actions – not only today, but each day of the coming New Year, so that 2025 may be truly the Jubilee Year and Year of the Lord. May the great gift that is Jesus give you wonder, peace and joy! Merry Christmas and a Happy, blessed New Year. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Stan Rev. Stanislaw Poszwa, S.Ch. St. Agatha’s Parish, St. Louis, Missouri - Christmas 2024
